Strategy
The Summoning Portal is most useful in the mid game when your mana pool is still too low to put out bigger minions but sufficiently large to be able to get the Summoning Portal into play, thus effectively reducing the cost of all minions by 2. It can also be used during the late-game to get multiple big minions out.
Notes
- Summoning Portal`s ongoing effect The welling of light indicating an ongoing effect Ongoing effects are minion, weapon, and boss Hero Power abilities which grant special effects on an ongoing basis. Ongoing effects are often referred to as auras, particularly
is applied before any other cost-modification effect The mana cost of a card or Hero Power determines how much mana is required to play that card from the hand or to use that Hero Power. The number is displayed inside a blue , regardless of order of play.
- Example: If Emperor Thaurissan Emperor Thaurissan Set: Blackrock Mountain Type: Minion Rarity: Legendary Cost: 6 Attack: 5 Health: 5 Abilities: Modify cost Tags: Triggered effect At the end of your turn, reduce the Cost of cards in your hand has triggered twice while you were holding a Deathwing Deathwing Set: Classic Type: Minion Subtype: Dragon Rarity: Legendary Cost: 10 Attack: 12 Health: 12 Abilities: Battlecry, Destroy, Discard Battlecry: Destroy all other minions and discard your hand.Once a noble dragon known as Neltharion, Deathwing in your hand (thus reducing its mana cost from 10 to 8), and then you play 4 Summoning Portals, the final mana cost of Deathwing will be 0, not 1: even if they were played later, the effects of the 4 Summoning Portals are applied first, reducing the mana cost of Deathwing from 10 to 2; then, the two cost-reduction enchantments created by Emperor Thaurissan are applied, reducing the mana cost of Deathwing from 2 to 0.
- Example: If a minion card with a base mana cost of 1 has its cost increased by some effect, playing a Summoning Portal will not reduce the final mana cost of the minion: since Summoning Portal`s effect is applied first, it cannot decrease the mana cost of the 1-Cost minion below 1 and has no effect; only then is the cost-increasing effect applied.
- Summoning Portal does not increase the mana cost of a 0-Cost minion to 1.
